This federal Project Grant award, with the ID K08CA285952, is funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) program. The $197,640 award supports an initiative led by Dr. Adjoa Anyane-Yeboa at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to develop implementation strategies for increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among unscreened individuals aged 45-54, with a focus on racial/ethnic minority populations. The key objectives of this 5-year...
This Project Grant award of $622,913 from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program supports research to evaluate a multilevel intervention to increase colonoscopic follow-up after abnormal stool-based colorectal cancer screening in a federally qualified health center (FQHC) setting. The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of the multilevel intervention versus usual care on receipt of colonoscopy within 6 months of an...

The project aims to conduct research on utilizing DNA methylation markers in blood samples to enhance...
This $637,596 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program) will fund a research project to test a video-based intervention strategy for reducing defensive colorectal cancer information avoidance and increasing screening uptake. The project aims to reach individuals who tend to avoid colorectal cancer information, as they are less likely to adhere to screening guidelines. The research plan includes a randomized controlled...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), for the PREDICT (Personalized Risk-Based Follow-Up of Cervical Cancer Screening in Practice) project.

This $269,942 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) supports the development and pilot testing of a four-part community health worker (CHW) intervention to improve lung cancer screening uptake and address disparities among Black and Hispanic populations. The key products or services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: 1) jointly "transcreating" the CHW intervention with a community advisory board, 2) conducting...
The National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) awarded a $224,099 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a targeted colorectal cancer (CRC) screening strategy for adults ages 45-49. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the acceptability of CRC screening in this age group and identify factors influencing screening uptake, and 2) conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of an active outreach...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), provides $696,852 to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to optimize a mobile messaging intervention for increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among patients served by community health centers (CHCs).

The project aims to first focus on maximizing patient engagement by determining optimal messaging strategies for a text message-based campaign. It will then use a multi-level randomized design to compare approaches for boosting CRC screening completion through FIT testing, as well as follow-up on abnormal results. The intervention will be offered alongside population health management tools to track screening and follow-up. The project will evaluate the long-term sustainability of the optimized intervention over 12 months after the main study period. This work seeks to create an implementation-ready solution to improve CRC screening rates among underserved populations accessing care through CHCs.
